    I would say about 6mm is the max you could go before your ear not returning to normal. Again this is totally variable and might be more or less depending on the size of your lobes.

    ^ What Will said.

    Would vary from person to person, but above 6mm, the chances are slim.

    depends, apparently on how slowly they were stretched too. i remember hot2def stretched really slowly, took them out for a weekend or something, and they went from huge to gone in a matter of days or something. if i was in a better mood, i'd find her post...

    Heads up, BAF has a 20% off sale at the moment. 20% off + weak dollar = OMGWTFPLUGSSS.

    I also have built up $102 in store credit and gift certificates. It's going to be anatometal all the way for me!

    It's on til next Sunday, they're having an APP clearout. Just enter the code they have on the front page at the checkout.

    You stretch up from 2.4mm or a simmilar size to 8mm in 1mm stretches using titanium eyelets. If you wanted to go straight to 8mm you could get a dermal punch but it's a bigger deal then just getting pierced.

    I got my ears pierced and stretched to 6mm in one session in Snakebite. It hurt getting done but it healed very easily.

    Don't wanna drag up an old thread so I will post it in here...
    People who have been around this forum for a while will remember the mancore thread I started, also any IAM users here will know Mancore is still alive and well ;)

    To keep on topic I will also post a pic of another set of custom plugs from paul and I'm getting a pair from OneTribe also :D

    I tried something new today :)

    These are opalite plugs (synthetic opal, a kind of glass):

    opalite.jpg

    Nice but a little boring and meh. I've only worn them once or twice.

    opalite-ear.jpg

    Let's make them more interesting, by placing them in the oven for twenty minutes at 250 degrees celsius, then drop them into a bowl of iced water...

    fried2.jpg

    Ooh! Some sparkly cracks. But still meh, so let's give it one more go:

    fried1.jpg

    Yaaaaay! (It was dark at this stage)

    Now they're full of crackles and they sparkle. Yay for fried glass!

    I wouldn't worry too much, post is dodgy at the moment. Took me two and a half weeks to get a package from BAF and it normally only takes a week if not less.
